Weekend Travel

One of the most expensive times to fly is on the weekend, but sometime weekend travel is the only option you have. You don’t have to shy-away from weekend travel without first discovering your travel options. Weekend travel is not reserved just for business travelers anymore.

We have to pay more for each airline ticket, so it’s only natural to want more comforts from the airlines, and not less. Well, some of the airlines are listening and are really stepping up the comfort levels for passengers in first class and coach.

Lufthansa Airlines is one of them. In the Lufthansa A380 First Class cabin they are testing out the flat bed design. This is the kind of comfort that softens the blow of ever-changing airline rules and dwindling airline services. Take a look at these new comforts for airline passengers.

The first class cabin on the Lufthansa A380 has one of the quietest cabins, with comfortable and very plush beds. The bed is 6’9″ in length, featuring a mattress and heat regulating blankets.

Singapore Airlines is also rated very high for the comfort it provides its passengers. The Singapore Airlines A380 First Class Suite is the perfect example of where first class accommodations are headed. They provide a full size bed with a view to die for. No pun intended. Take a look.

The Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 suites offer two different seat configurations; one is a reclining leather seat, the other a flat bed with sliding doors for privacy.

This next video rates them all. Guess which airline rates the highest for its first class accommodations? When you see the pictures it’s easy to see why they rate so high. Look over these accommodations before you book your next flight.

When you walk on your next flight you are probably just anticipating the work or fun ahead when you arrive at your destination, but there are a few more things to keep in mind while attempting to enjoy your journey.

Let’s face it airplanes are teaming with germs. Airlines will deny this, but it’s potentially true. You are enclosed in a small space – your seat, which gets a lot of use, (flight after flight and person after person). The air is recycled, and the person sitting next to you may be coughing or sneezing from takeoff to touch down.

How would you like to be the next lucky patron who sits in the seat of the person that was coughing and sneezing all through the flight? Yeah, just think about that. You need to be prepared to protect yourself from germs that could be lurking all around you in the aircraft, so here are a few tips.

1. Bring antibacterial wipes
This is one of the most important tips that you should follow on every flight. Always clean off the armrest and the tray table with antibacterial wipes before you use them. Airline crews clear the plane of obvious trash and debris, but armrests and trays are rarely completely wiped down. Bacteria can remain on surfaces and populate for a very long periods of time.

2. Use bottled water
Don’t request a cup of water or ice in your drinks. The water source on planes is allegedly full of bacteria and is rarely flushed or cleaned. Request bottled water, or bring your own bottled water with you.

3. Bring your own headphones
Don’t use the headphones airlines provide. Use your own. The headsets on airplanes are re-bagged, and handed out again and again, flight after flight, but rarely – if ever – cleaned off. You don’t want to share earwax with anyone.

4. Be careful in the bathroom
Use the antibacterial wipes to wash your hands in the restroom, and never refill your water bottle with water from the plane’s bathroom. It’s the same water source that is potentially full of bacteria and rarely flushed or cleaned.

5. Don’t use the blankets or pillows
The pillows and blankets on planes are not washed between flights; they are re-packaged and handed out again and again. Anything can be passed from person to person from blankets and pillows. Bring your own.

6. Cover your noise and mouth
The recycled air is conceivably full of germs. The airlines constantly deny this, but on long flights the recycled air on a plane can affect you. I have personally become ill several tunes after traveling on flights from the east to the west coast, and will always cover my nose and mouth from now on.

Don’t let these tips freak you out on your next flight. Being aware of the germs that may be loitering on the plane and being prepared to deal with them should really make you feel at lot more at ease.
